Liebherr MK 88 Plus mobile construction crane masters 1,600 lifts in the Swiss Alps

In the autumn of last year, a crane operation of epic proportions was required for one of the largest infrastructure projects currently under way in Switzerland. Under considerable time pressure, a new 900-square-metre base structure needed to be constructed for the new imposing Lake Grimsel arch dam in the Alps before the onset of winter. A large-scale concrete mixing plant is due to be built on the base this spring. The construction company Frutiger AG is involved in the project and in October deployed its MK 88 Plus Liebherr mobile construction crane to the construction site, located at an altitude of almost 2,000 metres, for this Alpine assignment.

Guggenberger GmbH, based in the Regensburg district, has recently purchased two Liebherr L 566 XPower® wheel loaders from Liebherr sales partner Carl Beutlhauser Baumaschinen GmbH.

Both machines look resplendent in the distinctive corporate colour of this traditional construction company. For high quality standards in paintwork, Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH offers special paint finishes ex works. Unusually however, the special paintwork is not completed in a single stage at the end of the production process but instead the relevant component parts are painted before being assembled.

Liebherr wheel loader at Samoter: Innovation Award and enhanced functionality for active personnel detection

Liebherr will be presenting a total of four wheel loaders at Samoter. This includes the 32,600 kg L 586 XPower®, the largest wheel loader in the group. A winner of the Samoter Innovation Award in the wheel loader category is installed at the rear of this exhibit: the active personnel detection from Liebherr. This assistance system increases safety during wheel loader operation by automatically warning on the display and using acoustic signals of dangers in the rear area. A special feature of this system is that it independently differentiates between people and objects. At the end of 2020, Liebherr is expanding the active personnel detection to include a brake assistant with supportive braking function. In addition to the warning signals in the cab, it also helps the machine operator to prevent collisions or accidents. Find out more
